Sharing Hardship? Exploiting His Brother Without Limit
Blood Fiend Secret Realm.
These days, Liu Hui is half anxious and restless, and half secretly hoping.
He then realized that not only had his good brother Tang Ping vanished without a trace, but many elders in the Soul Hall, the instructors who issued missions, and even the guards who were always around had also disappeared without a sound.
Could it be that something has happened within the Soul Hall? Is he about to regain his freedom?
His subsequent phone call with his wife and daughter confirmed this suspicion.
There are far fewer NPCs on their side now. But his wife and daughter have always been submissive and timid. Even if they sense something is wrong, they dare not ask, and only dare to cautiously tell him to behave himself over the phone.
Liu Hui pondered for most of the night, but after waking up the next day, he finally gave up the idea of escaping.
Over the past 20,000 years, he has pretty much figured out the Soul Hall. These people are mentally ill; they love to find all sorts of ways to torture people, but they never intend to take his life.
Besides, given his lazy, do-as-you-go attitude, if he had actually escaped, he might not have been forced to cultivate so diligently like he is now.
Forget it, let's keep going!
With Tang Ping away for the past few days, he can take advantage of the situation to overtake his good friend and leave him far behind!
Three days later.
Liu Hui failed the assessment again and inevitably got a beating.
Fortunately, the attack wasn't too severe this time, and I should recover in two or three days by resting in bed. Even more coincidentally, being unable to move now allows me to calm down and properly sense the flow of the laws within my body.
This can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Liu Hui was smugly thinking, but before he could even smile, he heard footsteps outside the door. Looking up, his eyes widened instantly. He saw Tang Ping, dressed in a luxurious black outfit with subtle patterns that accentuated his tall and dashing figure, walking in slowly with his hands behind his back and a smug look on his face.
"Holy crap! Brother Ping, which rich woman is keeping you? This is incredible!" Liu Hui exclaimed, nearly rolling off the bed in shock.
Tang Ping's lips twitched slightly, and he said helplessly, "Sigh, there's nothing I can do. I got excited a few days ago and awakened a special talent."
Its Vast Endowment caught the eye of a powerful being who happened to be passing by, and he took it under his wing.
Now I have someone to rely on, from now on, I'll protect you."
Liu Hui's face twitched, and he thought to himself: Why does this talent name sound so frivolous? But that doesn't matter! As long as he has a backer, that's enough! From now on, he won't have to get beaten up all the time, and he won't have to put up with all that nonsense anymore!
The thought flashed through his mind, but without the slightest hesitation, Liu Hui struggled to get out of bed, then knelt down with a thud, grabbing Tang Ping's leg tightly and shouting at the top of his lungs, "Godfather!"
Tang Ping:----
After his good brother flattered him for a long time, and he enjoyed all the praise and service, and was even extorted by Liu Hui for a lot of his treasured spiritual fruits and delicacies, Tang Ping finally cleared his throat and slowly drove off.
"Brother Hui, I have something to tell you. I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Liu Hui's heart skipped a beat, a strange sense of foreboding rising within him. "Let's... let me tell you the good news first, to calm our nerves."
Tang Ping: "The good news is that, thanks to that powerful figure, I'm now somewhat well-known in the Soul Hall, and most people recognize me."
Liu Hui's face lit up instantly. "Really? Then won't we be able to relax a bit more from now on, and won't be so easily manipulated anymore?"
And the bad news?
Tang Ping immediately put on a bitter face. "The bad news is that the big shot said she hopes I can spend more time with her, so she hopes I can break through to immortality as soon as possible. She also specifically instructed the people of the Soul Hall to increase the training for me."
From now on, my assessments will be twice as difficult, and the Enforcement Corps will be on my side, showing absolutely no mercy.
Liu Hui's smile froze instantly, and then, as if burned, he hurriedly took several steps back, keeping a safe distance, and repeatedly cupped his hands in greeting to the air, shouting, "Big brothers and sisters! Seniors! It's a misunderstanding! I really don't know him at all! We have absolutely no relationship!"
Tang Ping reached out and patted his shoulder. "It's no use, I've already included your name in the application. Didn't you just say we brothers would share joys and sorrows?"
From now on, my good brother, for life!
Liu Hui:----
After a full half-minute of silence, Liu Hui gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, one word at a time. "I—thank you! Brother Ping, you really go to great lengths for your good brothers!"
Tang Ping waved his hand, smiling frankly, "No need to thank me, it's my pleasure!"
"Aaaaaah! I'll fight you to the death!" Liu Hui, unable to bear it any longer, roared and pounced on Tang Ping.
"Smack!"
A crisp crack of a whip suddenly rang out, and a black-clad, expressionless law enforcement officer rushed out from around a corner, lashing Liu Hui with the whip. The man howled in pain and instantly collapsed.
"No noise." The enforcer's voice was icy cold, devoid of any emotion. "From this day forward, both of you must adhere to the highest interstellar etiquette in all your actions, whether walking, sitting, or lying down, and must not overstep the bounds in the slightest."
"Yes, yes, yes! Senior is right!" Liu Hui was almost in tears from the beating, nodding and bowing repeatedly, looking completely subservient.
He's ruthless when it comes to his best friends; but when he encounters the enforcers of the Soul Hall, he instantly loses his temper and becomes meek and submissive.
"Hahaha----" Tang Ping pointed at Liu Hui's cowardly appearance and laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight.
The next moment, "Bang!"
With the same crisp crack of the whip, the enforcer lashed out with his other hand, striking Tang Ping.
Tang Ping's laughter stopped abruptly, and the smile on his face froze instantly:----
Seeing this, Liu Hui couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Smack!"
Another lash landed precisely on Liu Hui.
Seeing Liu Hui's grimacing yet forced composure, Tang Ping couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Smack!"
The whip fell again.
Liu Hui's lips twitched, and he quickly closed his eyes, recalling the most heartbreaking things in his life: the pain of being separated from his wife and daughter, the humiliation of being tortured by the Soul Hall, and the frustration of failing the tests time and time again—he finally managed to suppress his laughter.
However, seeing that Tang Ping, like himself, had a clear whip mark on his shoulder and a barely suppressed smile on his face, Liu Hui secretly felt a sense of balance.
We're even now, hehehe.
Virtual Universe, Thunder Island.
Luo Feng's mansion was built against the mountain, with magnificent palaces and halls.
This residence, built on the mountainside of Thunder Island by the personal authorization of the Chaos City Lord, was exceptionally chosen by him after he had just broken through to immortality. Its specifications were so high that they rivaled those of the Venerable and high-ranking members of the clan.
Inside the hall, Luo Feng, clad in red armor, exuded a sharp and spirited aura. Just as he raised a cup of fine wine, a familiar yet carefree laugh echoed from outside the hall.
"Hahaha, Xiao Feng! My good brother, I've been looking for you everywhere!" Tang Ping strode into the hall and went straight to sit down opposite Luo Feng.
"Congratulations! Congratulations, Immortal Luo! You've just broken through and already received a mansion halfway up Thunder Island. Your treatment rivals that of Cosmic Venerable. You're the only one in the entire clan to have such prestige!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng shook his head and said helplessly, "Don't tease me. This treatment isn't something easy. You've heard the rumors circulating in the clan these past few days, haven't you? Many veteran Venerable are green with envy, secretly cursing the Chaos City Lord for favoritism, and even subtly mocking me for relying on my teacher's backing, calling me shameless, right?"
Those people toiled for hundreds of millions, even billions of years, to finally reach the position of Venerable. Naturally, they were dissatisfied to see him, a newly ascended Immortal, enjoying the same treatment.
Then, Luo Feng turned around and killed King Fei Jing, an opponent comparable to Ordinary Venerable, which means that he has at least the strength of Middle Venerable.
If an immortal possesses such strength, what does that mean? It means that Luo Feng will at least be a Top Universe Overlord in the future! As a result, many Venerable felt ashamed, apologized to him, and expressed their remorse.
Luo Feng couldn't help but smirk as he recalled the way those Venerable apologized.
That's just how people are; they're incredibly pragmatic. They were unconvinced before simply because they thought I wasn't good enough; but once they saw my strength and realized my potential to become a top expert, their attitude naturally changed.
"That's right. Compared to those sycophants, your brother is much more honest," Tang Ping said with a smile.
"If it were anyone else, they might have joined those people in mocking you. But I'm very reliable. I observed you for a long time to make sure you couldn't beat me before I dared to joke with you."
Luo Feng:
Seeing Luo Feng's discomfiture, Tang Ping laughed with satisfaction. The two chatted for a while, discussing their Law Comprehension. But as they talked, Luo Feng's expression gradually darkened.
Tang Ping noticed his unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Luo Feng said dejectedly, "It's the King Fei Jing. I thought that killing him would solve a problem, but I didn't expect that he would be resurrected by the Universe Master of other races."
Luo Feng said solemnly, "After he was resurrected, he spread the word everywhere that I was able to kill him because of the power of Supreme Treasure. He also said that I possess at least six Supreme Treasure, one of which is Soul-type Supreme Treasure, and the other is most likely Flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure."
"What?!" Tang Ping sat bolt upright, exclaiming dramatically, "Good heavens, you're incredibly wealthy! Boss, take me with you! You know, soul-type and Flying Palace-type Supreme Treasure are enough to drive even the Cosmic Overlord mad. Each one is comparable to ten or even a hundred other Ordinary Supreme Treasure."
Luo Feng glanced at him.
The eldest brother doesn't know the second brother yet. They are both disciples of Mountain Sitting Guest, and each of them possesses at least two Peak Treasure. What are Ordinary Supreme Treasure palaces compared to that?
However, that person possesses the strength of Universe Master and is also stationed within their clan, so they have nothing to fear even if word gets out. He, on the other hand, is different. Even if he were to self-destruct his body using the Nether Sea, he would only be able to injure the Cosmic Overlord if he wasn't paying attention.
Luo Feng rubbed his temples. "The Ancestral God Religion has hundreds of millions of inheritors. News spreads extremely fast. I'm afraid that by now, billions of races throughout the universe already know about this."
Tang Ping chuckled and reassured him, "No problem. I'll send you a few sword energies by express delivery. If you can't beat them, just call me. We brothers will set up a honey trap together, robbing anyone who comes."
Luo Feng:...
If word gets out about this, once he becomes a supreme expert, no matter how awesome he claims to be, people will always say he was involved in a honey trap, which would be incredibly detrimental.
Luo Feng quickly picked up the wine and drank it all in one gulp, his tone resolute. "No need. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. He, King Fei Jing, wants to use the matter of the Supreme Treasure to cause me trouble, and he wants to lure the Cosmic Overlord to deal with me, so I'll accept it."
"If one comes, I'll kill one; if two come, I'll kill both." A chilling killing intent emanated from Luo Feng's body.
"Since stepping into this universe, I have been prepared to face endless battles and endless slaughter. There are no shortcuts on the path to becoming a strong person; it has always been forged step by step with the blood and bones of enemies!"
Tang Ping slammed his hand on the table. "Good! This is the Luo Feng I know! Don't worry, even if you are at odds with the entire universe, even if the road ahead is full of thorns, even if you are surrounded by powerful enemies, I will always stand behind you."
But when you become successful and famous, remember to look out for me!
Luo Feng looked at Tang Ping, somewhat speechless.
When did I ever declare myself an enemy of the entire universe? And you, the so-called Universe Master, possessing Peak Supreme Treasure Armor and Super Divine Body, why are you standing behind me?
